Ingalls, anc His Cowboy Constituent

From the New York Tribune (Rep)
A constituent of Senator Ingalls, a rough
looking fellow of the cowboy type, sent in his
card to the Senator at the Capitol one day last
winter, and then seated himself in the Marble
Room to await the Senator's arrival. When
Mr.. Ingalls, made his appearance some one else
engaged him in conversation. At its conclusion
he started to re-enter the chamber, having APP
parenty forgotten the purpose for which he
mad quilted it, At that moment the cowboy
seized him.
BE you Senator?" he inquired
Senator ingalls, disengaged himself, and an
swered with unusual dignity:
Il have that nonor, sir. "
"Do you know old Ingalls,, of Kansas" was
the next mterrogasory.
The senior senator from Kansas and Presi-
dent pro TEN. of the United States Senate gave
the fellow piercing look TO see if he was in
earnest He evidently satisfied himself ON that
point. for he answered Immediately:
''Oh yes; we re very well acquainted"
BY this time quite a crowd of Senators and
Senate employees had gathered around the two
men.
well, then" continued the visitor, 81 wish
you would tell him am about tired of waiting
for him, and if he doesn't hurry out here pretty
soon I'll make it d. lively for him when his
next election comes around"
do you know Ingalls," inquired the Kansas
Senator. with an air of indifference.
Il do not, was the response.
Have you any idea what he looks like?"
mo, but I'm told he's as ugly as the old
Nick"
DO you suppose he is as ugly as l ann" was
Mr.. Ingalls, next interrogatory
''Well, | don't know said the fellow, with
great deliberaton, but expect you crowd him
mighty close"
At this point Mr.. Ingalls, made his escape into
the Senate chamber, trying to look responsive
to the roars of laughter which followed him;
and his constituent wonders to the present day
why it is he couldI { get an interview with his
Senator, but declares with much emphasis that
he II make it hot yet for old Ingalls," when the
next Senatorial election takes place in Kansas

a MARTYR SON.
Three Years in State Prison to Shield
Guilty Mother.

Twelve years in the Massachusetts, State
prison is what a son took to shield his guilty
mother. Now she is dead and he seeks release.
On Thanksgiving Day, 1883, John F. Toomey
died very mysteriously in house on fuckers
wharf, in Salem, where lived the mother of
Jack Curtin. There was an autopsy, and Toomey
was found to have died from singular fracture
OF the skull, apparently blow from an ex-
traordinary weapon. The physicians could not
account for its radiating appearance until the
family kettle was found. Then the fracture was
explained to their satisfaction. The police took
up the case and suspicion fastened upon Curtin,
who had fled the State to avoid arrest He was
| followed to Gloversville, n. Y, where he was
captured, after hard chase. He asserted his
| innocence to the last, and declared that he
never committed the crime He refused, how
ever, to say who did, and went to prison. His
mother was completely broken down and 5ied,
apparently from grief year and four months
after Jacks Imprisonment
Now the prisoner, by his attorney, asks for
conditional pardon on the ground that he never
committed the deed. The petition rectes that
he was not in the room at the time Toomey was
Killed. 1t is declared that John +. Toomey
came to the house, and entering the bedroom
or Jack Curtins sister, grossly assaulted her.
Mrs Curtin, the mother, babe him BECOME
Then Toomey attempted a second assault, and
Mrs. Curtin, enraged seized polishing iron
and struck Toomey the blow that caused his
death The son told his mother he would leave
the state to draw suspicion upon himself, and
did so. He declares his ability to prove his
statements amply to the satisfaction of the
Governor and Council, and application will be
| made for writ of habeas corpus to bring Cur
tin before them. He has been an excellent
prisoner during the three years and three
months of his incarceration.
The evidence at Curtn'S trial, though conflict
ing, was generally direct, and one-Casey-
| swore positively to seeing Curtin strike Toomey
with the kettle. The medical experts present at
the autopsy testified that Toomey died from a
stellated fracture of the SKULL which could be
hardly produced by any other weapCn but the
kettle An effort was made to prove an alibi.
The mother of Curtin, before the murder
woman of strong characteristics, was olete-
ly changed after the crime. She wasted TO
shadow of her former self, but it was believed
| that it was because Jack" her favorite son,
had been convicted Every week, as long as she
had strength, she dragged herself up to the
State prison to see her boy She died finally of

San Francisco and the Sandwich Islands,
proposes TO so into the business of produc-
ing sugar from beets on a large scale. He
has been in Germany the greater part Of
the past summer studying the process of
making beet sugar in that country, and he
has purchased $3.50, 900 worth of machinery
for manufacturing the sugar He says
there is some wonderful machinery in Ger
many for making beet sugar. He also says
that he is convinced that beet sugar making,
with the improved machinery now in use,
will become one of the great industries of
the United States In his enthusiasm he
declares he will never rest until he makes
this country the greatest beet sugar pro
ducer on the face of the globe. He expects
the factory which he will erect in California
TO produce forty tons Of sugar day.

Mr., Phelps Observations.

Hon. William Walter Phelps is either
very insincere when he talks for the benefit
of the public or else he is not so observing
a politician as he has the credit of being.
In an interview day or two ago, published
in the World, he said: II know of no candi-
date prominently mentioned whom we
would not heartily support, and whom, as
against Cleveland, we will not elect He
spoke as one of the Blaine supporters, and
he wished to be understood as saving that
Blaine's friends, if Blaine is not nominated,
will support Sherman heartily, or any other
prominent Republican leader, and that in
his opinion the Republican party can elect
its candidate if it dominates the right sort
of a man, provided the Democrats nominate
Mr.. Cleveland.
There is no doubt that Blaine was the
strongest man in his party in 1884, and he
was beaten by Mr.. Cleveland Mr.. Blaine
is now the strongest man in his party, and
no one will deny that Mr.. Clevelands popu-
larity has steadily increased, and that he
will be a stronger candidate in 1883 than he
was in 1884. These facts cannot have es-
capped the observation of Mr.. Phelps How
can he say with sincerity, therefore, that
the Republican party will be successful in
1888 if its candidate is one of its prominent
leaders and Mr.. Cleveland is his opponents
Mr.. Phelps must have hidden purpose in
view in expressing such an opinion.
The whole of his interview, however, is
calculated to arrest attention. For in
stance, he says that Blaine did not want the
nomination in 1884 because, among other
reasons, he did not believe that Republi-
can could be elected. But if he thought he
could not be elected in 1884, he certainly
does not believe he could be in 1883, though
Mr.. Phelps evidently thinks he could 1t
would be interesting to know why Mr.
Phelps is so confident of Republican success
next year.

The Thank-You Prayer.
From ~ IKo1nn1l nt Vork


Once upon time l listened,
Listened While the quick tears glistened
Meath the dropping lids that hid them, as q lit
tie prattler said
While a fathers arm caressing,
Round the precious form was pressing,
And against his pillowng bosom lay dainty,
cml-ringed head.
Papa spoke the little trembler,
Papa, dear, do you remember
When that gentleman was here TO tea his sober,
solemn air?
How he bent his head down lowly,
And his words came soft and slowly,
AS he prayed to God in Heaven such pretty
thank-you prayer?
"And wonder all about it,
For of course could not doubt it
Was funny way that made us be so kind to
one another,
To say thank you for each present.
In way so very pleasant,
And forget that God might like it; so 1 asked
my darling mother.
But she looked at me so queerly.
And her eyes were very nearly
Full Of crying, and left her; but 1 want to
know real bad
Here the shy eyes lifted brightly,
rs it treating God politely
When He gives us things, to never mind nor tell
him we are glad?
''And since then have been thinking
Papa, dear, why are you winking?"
For slow sob shook the strong man as each
keen, unconscious word
Pierced him, all the past unwilling
And the cold neglect and failing,
All the thoughtless, dumb receival-how the
needless heart was stirred
God is good and Jesus blessed them,
And his sacred arm careSsed them"
Murmuring thus. he touched the child brow with
passionate, swift, kiss
OF the little one beside him;
OF the angel sent to chide him:
And Il thanK-you prayer, ah, never more his liv-
ing lips shall miss.

Right on the Tariff Question.

The Massachusetts Democrats in their
convention on Tuesday spoke strictly for
tariff reform. They want the revenue re-
duced to the needs of the government
economically administered, and they want
the reduction effected by ''an amendment to
our revenue laws which shall cheaper the
prices of the necessaries of life and give free
entrance to such imported materials as may
be manufactured into marketable commodi-
ties" This is what the administration
wants, and the Democratic party of the
whole country wants, with the exception of
Mr.. Randall and his few followers.
1t seems rather remarkable that while
Democrats of the great manufacturing
State of Massachusetts, are demanding a re-
duction of the tariff to revenue basis
few adherents of the Democratic party in
Pennsylvania, and a few Democratic news
papers elsewhere, are virtually demanding
that the tariff shall not be touched.
but that the tax on whisky shall be repealed.
1t seems to them TO be of more importance
that there shall be free whisky than that
there shall be cheaper cotton ties, or cheaper
blankets, shoes and other necessaries of life.
If the Democrats of Massachusetts have
reached the conclusion that the best inter
ests of the country require a reduction of
the tariff, it is difficult to see how Demo-
Gratis of other States can insist that tariff
reform means harm to manufacturing in
dustries.
The truth is that the proposition to repeal
the whisky tax cannot be defended upon
any reasonable ground. All arguments in
favor of its repeal are lame. Those who
present them appear to be ashamed of them
Neither the producer nor the consumer
wants the whisky tax repealed. The only
demand for its repeal that is worth noticing
comes from those VINO want to maintain
the present burdensome protective tariff,
and they are mostly Republicans.
